Yeah bananas are really good energy and they digest quickly. But if your like me, eating and drinking all of that 5 minutes before working will cause you to puke everywhere and it just slows you down. I prefer to eat 30 minutes before and hydrate 15 minutes before. I also sip a bottle while i work out. You don't wanna scull all your water and then get stomach pains either. But yeah, what you're drinking and eating is good.
I actually prefer using dumbells. It seems to put less pressure on my triceps and isolate my chest more. I used to bench with the bar a lot though, and i used wide elbows.. trying to take the pressure off my triceps and back onto my chest.

Mike was a legend, no doubt, but his "high intensity training" had a few flaws, like too much rest between workouts.
I talked with him back in 1995, and did his workouts for a little while, but ended up back with the conventional training methods, which worked better for me
btw- Mike died a few years back and soon after, his brother (seen in the video) committed suicide

REALLY YOU MET HIM?? That's awesome, i wish he trained me.
Yes you're right about the rest part, he claims you should rest up to 6 days. I think rest is a subjective thing, it depends how your body feels but if it feels like it hurts a bit working out is simply a no no. I usually feel up to it after 3 days, but if you're not hurting for that long you should seriously consider changing your workout if its muscle building that you're interest in. Muscle soreness indicates intensity and growth. The guy in his video had to rest 8 days after a workout with Mike! Jeez.
So that's how he died. Sad indeed. I wonder what drove him to it. He was certainly a valuable asset to body building.

different, challenging, short and intense workouts daily
using that, as well as fine tuning the diet, and my bodyweight has gone from 187 lbs to 174 lbs in less than 2 months
I never met him, I talked with him on the phone for over an hour (we have a mutual friend)...he was a real intense guy
